Our parties typically don't take out the farm animals until much later in the game (around level 10 or so). The first few levels, they're working their way though commoners (innkeepers, wenches, and the like). By level 4 or so, they're taking out the experts in town (scribes, blacksmiths, etc.). Level 7 or so, they're killing the aristocrats and adepts. Once the starting town is completely depopulated, they move on to the farm animals, since they're easy to "defeat" for the XP.

Actually...
What started out as a Joke Encounter has turned into a very important (though Local) part of my campaign World.
Basically, a circle of Evil (and Insane) Halfling Druids are going around & Casting Awaken on Various Farm Animals & Teaching them to "Liberate" their Enslaved Bretheren.
All this was so I could throw an Awakened Chicken Monk, Boar Barbarian & Steer Sorcerer at the party as a "WTF?!?!? Encounter"
But then the Chicken got lucky with a Stunning Fist (Beak) Attack, Followed by 4 Criticals in a Row. Knocked the Ranger from Full to -7 in 2 rounds.
It was such a difficult & memorable encounter (God, does my group hate Chickens) that the Druids behind it have become recurring Villians.
It makes a sort of sense. If a Steer suddenly gains Human-Like Intelligence & the only contact it has explains "See that big Bull over there? Since he is the biggest, they let him keep his testicles. All you guys? Chopped, Buterflyed, Deep-Fried and Eaten. Aren't they Evil SoB's?"
Or "Hey Chicken! Let me show you what they do with your unborn children. This is called a Reciepe Book. Pay close attention to the Scrambled, Poached, and Hard-Boiled Parts"
It has moved beyond joke status to semi-serious. Remote farmsteads destroyed. The Men Mutilated. The Children Poached & Eaten.
They haven't actually met any of the Druids yet, but they sure are looking for them.
It also let me use the phrase "Cannibal Chicken Monks of Hastur" with a Straight Face.
